I’ve been whizzing up some healthy concoctions with it since early last year after a pretty serious neck operation. This immune-boosting stuff was what gave me my energy back during my recovery.

For those of you who haven’t a clue about what I’m on about, let me explain.

The NutriBullet is basically an extractor which grinds vegetables, nuts, seeds and even pips and stalks of your fruits.

So, without further ado, here’s my breakfast smoothie recipe, featuring everything from ginger and blueberries to apple, which you can blitz up in seconds.

My Breakfast Smoothie

This smoothie takes two minutes to make and sets you up for a healthy day. The banana, apple and pumpkin seeds make it super thick and creamy, while the blueberries give it a gorgeous colour and a sweet, fruity flavour, and the spinach gives you a good dose of refreshing greens so you’ll be glowing from the inside out…

INGREDIENTS

– 2 tsp ginger, peels and finely grated
